PPSSPP Switch Beta Release

1.jpg

PPSSPP/Libretro Switch Public Beta by m4xw
==========================================

After a lot of work, I am very happy to share this with all of you.
Audio & Video support works, many core options cause Issues tho.

It is mandatory to "Close Content" after changing any Core option and restarting RetroArch, else it will potentially crash, don't close the RetroArch menu!

Special thanks to hrydgard for everything he has done for the PPSSPP Project.
If you want to support his work, consider buying PPSSPP Gold https://central.ppsspp.org/buygold even if you don't use it!

I will PR it once the libretro port is finished, also implemented half of what's needed for a Standalone port ;)
Source is on my Github, but it's highly WIP and needs a custom RA and a custom ffmpeg, so you should just wait if you want to build it yourself ;)

Libretro Docs (important informations for this core):
https://docs.libretro.com/library/ppsspp/
Official Game Compatibility Tracker (your mileage might vary): https://report.ppsspp.org/games

GitHub (WIP Switch): https://github.com/m4xw/ppsspp/
GitHub (Official): https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp

Installation Instructions
==========================================

Drag & Drop the "retroarch" folder to the root of your SD, overwriting any file (it will not touch any options).
Assets are bundled, so you don't have to bother with that.

Notes
==========================================

If you are using ANY method of loading RetroArch OTHER than Atmosphere's title redirection feature, DO NOT report issues that you encounter.
These issues can skew testing and could very well be caused by loading through an unsupported method.

Video slowdowns are related to missing hardware accelerated decoding (nvdec), it's not a libretro/PPSSPP Issue.
FMV cut-scenes will be fine.

Updates
==========================================

Added JIT and JIT Vertex Decoder Support
- When loading Savestates with JIT, make sure to instantly open the RetroArch Menu again and wait for it to complete loading
- This is a libretro specific bug (not switch port related) and will be fixed later on


==========================================

-Added Vertex JIT Core option (turning it off fixes some games currently)
-Added Disable slow Framebuffer effects Core option (Speedhack)
-Increased Savestate Chunk size to 4MB (speeds up savestate load, ~2sec)
-Band-Aid for Savestate load + Save (no more opening menu for them to work)
-Renamed "IR JIT" to "IR Interpreter"
-Removed Threaded IO Core option (non-functional)
-Removed Non-Buffered Rendering Core option (non-functional)
-General system stability improvements to enhance the user's experience.

I'm not trying to be rude but I feel like people can't read. Why do I need to repeat for the third time turn off Vertex Cache (Speedhack). It doesn't work perfect but it works it's a litle slow. That is the only setting I changed.
I don't know, maybe because I said twice already I had both speed hacks (fast memory & vertex cache) off? Thanks anyway I'll go test one more time

I don't know there's like 5 different versions when you're a patreon I don't even remember which one by now. Why not try both?

Here's proof

There is an initial JITFINAL, and another JITFinal with fixed FMV. Did you update after the FMV fix? (Do you get choppy FMV?)

the best one is the 2nd release,Atari Revolved game plus few other good games will only work with this release,i think it's the FMV fixed release the one right after the 1st release.

I tried 3 times but it keeps giving me an error. I'm telling you I'm using a public release I wouldn't give you a patreon release anyway because you have to pay for that. You're doing something else wrong.

Nah no need to create an ISO, you just boot the HB's Eboot.pbp like normal :)
I have my PSP homebrew in a PSP folder in the root fo my SD. For some reason PPSSPP doesn't like it when the HB in a long Directory, so keep it short then you shouldn't have any problems.
There are a few PSP HB that work on the standalone PPSSPP Emulator that doesn't on our PPSSPP but overall the Compat is really high. :)

Oh and OpenMugen DOES boot! but there is only the default character and no stage background/music ;)

i am going to be busy wow look at speed of openmugen pretty sure no sound stage cause uh you need to add that!

dont worry on it!

No your english is poor I said this is a public release but it's giving me an error. So you can get it yourself I said IF it was a patreon release I wouldn't give it to you. I don't really care what you think I tried 3 times it didn't work but you can get it yourself so stop bothering me to do everything for you.

i misunderstood what you said because you wouldn't share your core. also sharing it does not mean doing everything for me,it's called been kind & helpful to other members. if someone asked me to upload the core i would do it instantly but don't worry i won't bother you again
also on your video i see you have started the game via a save file & did not start it from beginning,maybe if i leave the language selection screen for few minutes i can then access the gameplay. will see

I told you I tried 3 times to upload and gbatemp errored so I DID try to share it. I only said it's a public release and you can get it just like anyone else who refues to be a patreon and it's not working for me to upload it so what else can I really do? You dont accept that answer even though it's the truth. Oh well, I did try and you're being a whiny baby. You want me to try 100 times? No I tried it didn't work and you can get the public release yourself. You think I'm lying but you're wrong so I got nothing more to say to you because I'm telling the truth. You're very selfish someone tries to help you and you don't believe them it's just all about you and getting your game to work you don't care about anything else.
